Automate data backups with AWS Backup and Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager - Amazon EBS

Automate data backups with AWS Backup and Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager

You can automate the creation, retention, and deletion of Amazon EBS snapshots using AWS Backup or Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager.

AWS Backup centralizes and automates data protection across accounts and Regions with a single backup plan that can protect Amazon EBS volumes, alongside many other AWS resources and third-party applications. For more information, see Supported AWS resources and applications.

Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager creates lifecycle policies that automate snapshot and AMI management for individual Amazon EBS volumes and Amazon EC2 instances. There is no additional charge for using the Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager service itself.
